that would be great sam

Okay mate il see what i can do!
No worries, impressive though, i've not seen that one before!

25g plus flat floats were the order of the day today on the dyke

oh my god my little 10 gramer will be washed away. good job im traveling with ritchy tomala just back from the wourld champs i,ll nick some biguns off him

On some pegs it was rapping ! 50 grams did not hold on others with slacks or flow on other bank it was not a problem !
Some teams had these big flat floats a lot of other anglers just did not have the big sizes needed on a lot of pegs.
It was quite strange that these teams were keen to point out that you could not overshot your float in order to combat the tow. The trouble is these anglers who have not got them will probably not be able to get hold of them as most shops do not stock them and a lot of them are digging in Newark.
My biggest is 30 grams and I cannot get hold of any bigger in time ! This will be a massive advantage to the teams who have them. If somebody had a stock of 40, 50 and 60 grams floats they would all get taken tomorrow trust me. I am just a little p***** off that the sportsmans spirit is well and truly out the window. If teams cannot get any in time then why not allow overshotting for these matches, I will tell you why not because 3 teams have all the ranges and dont really care that the majority of the others aint !

richie ive just sorted some out for trentmen go and have a word

Bankrunning all weekend down there for my team, i reckon im going to see a fair few anglers with there hands on a flask and there pole between their legs!

could be a chance the river will go down a tad sam or is it raging

Our two rivers, they go into the Trent look like a massive lake, plus loads to come from the Dove and Derwent, - it ain't gonna drop much, if any, overnight.

We also had a shedload more rain yesterday

some of the match is being moved i heard today 75g flat floats wouldn't hold
only nine teams fishing now as well
